Quote seen on wikipedia regarding midget car racing on board tracks. Is any more known about these venues?Though board tracks disappeared from the National Championship scene in 1932, a few smaller tracks did continue to operate for some years afterward. For instance, the Coney Island Velodrome hosted midget racing until at least 1939, and Castle Hill Speedway in the Bronx ran midgets into the 1940s.

I think you will find that the Coney Island Velodrome was only used for conventional cycle races and motor-paced cycle races. I am certain it was not the Nutley track which was in New JERSEY. There was a thread about it on this group but I cannot seem to find it.
